Another Tip

I hope that you all had a great day yesterday. Every year I shop early in the morning on the Friday after Thanksgiving, today was no exception. Do you all shop early in the morning the Friday after Thanksgiving? Do you have any interesting stories you'd like to share?


Here's another tip for writing your papers:

Paragraphs
1). You should have a topic sentence in each paragraph that is included in your paper.
2). Make sure you have full and complete sentences throughout, avoiding fragment sentences.
3). Avoid 'mini' paragraphs. Make sure you have decent sized paragraphs (follow the rule of 5 sentences or more if you need to). Also, make sure you do not have paragraphs that are longer than a page. This could easily mean that you need to break up your long paragraph into two.
4). Develop a justification to shift from paragraph to paragraph.
5). Try not to begin or end paragraphs with quoted material.

Look for another tip tomorrow, and I look forward to hearing any stories about today's shopping experience (either from this year or past years). Until tomorrow.....
